Other changes you can make

There are many other ways to alter the text in your title. To make your text partially transparent, so that the video underneath shows through the letters, adjust the slider under “Transparency.” You can only drag the slider up to 90 percent, so it won’t ever disappear completely; 0 percent indicates solid text with no transparency at all.

You can also adjust the font size. There are two buttons under the heading “Size”: the left button has a larger letter A and a little arrow pointing up, and the right button has a smaller letter A and a little arrow pointing down. Click the left button to increase the size of your text; click the right button to make it smaller.

Finally, you can change the orientation of your text by choosing one of the three options under “Position.” The left button will left-justify your text, the middle button (the default) will center it, and the right button will right-justify your text.
